At TMMC, the nursing and medical staff outside of the Oncology department truly demonstrated kindness and empathy, which was very reassuring during a challenging time. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr.
Sikaria was quite different. Several reviews indicate that she tends to come across as rude and lacks compassion. It makes me wonder if she was more empathetic early in her career. During our consultation, Dr.
Sikaria made a rather alarming statement suggesting that if we didn't follow her recommended treatment, the patient would not survive. She conveyed this message in a tone that felt condescending, which was concerning given the situation's urgency. We felt compelled to follow her advice, trusting that her expertise would lead to the best approach to treat the cancer, particularly with the increased dosage she suggested. However, there seemed to be little acknowledgment of the potential side effects associated with the treatment.
Concerns such as Chemotherapy Toxicity, nerve issues, nutritional deficiencies, weight loss/malnutrition, and urinary/bladder complications were not addressed. Throughout the treatment, the patient endured significant weight loss while on the higher dosage, but observation from Dr. Sikaria was lacking. Despite facing serious complications from side effects, Dr.
Sikaria and other physicians in the Oncology department, including Dr. Jessica Siak, maintained a demeanor that felt dismissive. It was disheartening to have to request more empathy from them during visits. Unfortunately, each appointment ended with their recommendation for immediate discharge and hospice care, which is intended for patients nearing the end of life—a situation I never wanted to consider.
In hindsight, I wish I had researched Dr. Sikaria before starting treatment.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the Oncology department at TMMC, as the connection with Cedars Sinai does not seem to enhance the quality of care. I hope my feedback will encourage improvements in how patients are treated in the future, focusing on compassion and thorough communication.
Preferred solution: Apology

Verified Reviewer | Torrance, CaliforniaBeware of Surgery Department
The surgery department is totally INCOMPETENT. I was supposed to have surgery recently and it had to be rescheduled at the last minute because they found out, while I was actually on the operating table and under general anesthesia, that they did not have all the supplies they needed for the surgery.
This is AFTER I went through all the preparations and I was under anesthesia. The administration is INCOMPETENT.
The nurses are INCOMPETENT. The staff is INCOMPETENT.
- Poor service

A charletan
Dr. Luk is a liar and a charlatan. Stay away from him.
- Stay away
- Him or his lying staff
Unethical fraud
Dr. Luk, an ear, nose, and throat doctor, and his one girl office lied to me about various things on June 11.
Stay away from this unethical doctor at any cost. I will be glad to give you more details.
